RGB mini-LED technology continues to be a major focus in the TV industry in 2026, with several brands producing models that show promise, though they still cannot match the performance of the best OLED TVs. The Samsung R95H, a flagship RGB mini-LED TV, received 4.5 stars out of 5 in a recent review, while the Sony Bravia 7 II, described as a mid-range model, also demonstrated strong performance. The Bravia 9 II, Sony’s flagship RGB TV and the step-up sibling of the Bravia 7 II, has now been tested alongside the Samsung R95H to determine which flagship RGB model performs better. In terms of color reproduction, both the Bravia 9 II and the R95H delivered impressive results. Watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the Bravia 9 II's colors appeared richer and deeper, giving the Lumas a crisper texture, while the R95H's colors were brighter. In Speed Racer, the Bravia 9 II again showed bolder colors, while the R95H had brighter colors. For skin tones, both TVs showed excellent accuracy, but the R95H's brightness made people look more true-to-life, while the Bravia 9 II used shadows and contrast to create dynamic visuals. Contrast was another strong point for both TVs. Watching The Batman, both TVs demonstrated strong contrast, with the Bravia 9 II showing richer blacks that created stronger perceived contrast. In Project Hail Mary, both TVs delivered deep black levels, though the Bravia 9 II's local dimming could be aggressive in some scenes, leading to black crush. The R95H also showed excellent backlight control, though not as impressive as the Bravia 9 II. In terms of brightness, the R95H achieved 1,977 nits and 612 nits peak and fullscreen HDR brightness respectively in Filmmaker Mode, while the Bravia 9 II registered 4,414 nits and 974 nits peak and fullscreen HDR brightness in its Professional mode. Despite the measured difference, the R95H delivered higher perceived brightness in practice, particularly in high-contrast scenes. Both TVs performed well in handling reflections, with the R95H using Samsung’s Glare Free matte screen and the Bravia 9 II having an anti-reflective screen. When considering which TV is the best buy, the Bravia 9 II was preferred for its richer, OLED-like colors and deeper black tones, though the R95H has more gaming features, such as four HDMI 2.1 ports, and a better interface. The R95H is currently priced lower than the Bravia 9 II, but if the Bravia 9 II's price can be brought in line with its competitor, its picture quality might justify the cost. However, OLED TVs from both Sony and Samsung are still recommended for their performance and price.
